Is it possible to define a category when doing a lookup for places through the facebook graph API?

NB. http://graph.facebook.com/v2.1/search?type=place&center=lat,lon&distance=1500&access_token=token

So the answer will be to filter this 'client-side' instead of 'server-side' (which in this case is the API)?

No, this is not possible. But you can add a query parameter named q where you can specify further details.

How Facebook uses this parameter in its search algorithm is unfortunately unspecified. To be sure, you'll need to filter in your application.
